use a G-tech. That works just as good as a dyno, you just have to know what you're doin.

Good deal... Got a buddy who has one... HP readings are wrong though... It said I have 48 HP and the weight I entered was correct. LOL
So I guess I'll hafta run the 1/4 a bunch of times to get it goin.

Thanks.

The gtech isn't going to tell you anything about how your motor is running. It's an accelerometer. It measures acceleration.

A much more useful tuning tool in lieu of a dyno is a wide band oxygen sensor used in conjunction with some way of tuning your computer; be it a V-AFC, Hondata, AEM PEMS, whatever. Here's a nice relatively cheap one: http://www.techedge.com.au/vehicle/wbo2/default.htm

It gives pretty spot-on accurate readings of what your a/f ratio is and then you can use whatever mechanism to adjust the fuel curve to compensate.
